Review process, conventional comments, language checklists and feedback templates. Use when reviewing code or standardizing review practice. To review a PR end to end, use review-pr.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Code Review Playbook
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for effective code reviews that improve code quality, share knowledge, and foster collaboration. Whether you're a reviewer giving feedback or an author preparing code for review, this playbook ensures reviews are thorough, consistent, and constructive.

## Overview
- Reviewing pull requests or merge requests
- Preparing code for review (self-review)
- Establishing code review standards for teams
- Training new developers on review best practices
- Resolving disagreements about code quality
- Improving review processes and efficiency

## Upstream coverage (do not restate)

This skill is a thin wrapper. General review craft is documented first-party elsewhere;
only OrchestKit's own decisions live here. Load `Read("references/ork-delta.md")`
for the house rules that survived the retired files.

| Topic | Go here instead |
|-------|-----------------|
| Review philosophy, speed, tone, PR sizing | https://google.github.io/eng-practices/review/ |
| Conventional comment labels and decorations | `references/conventional-comments.md`, https://conventionalcomments.org/ |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/code-review-playbook@sha256:d2b5c050903b43d9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
